Spring Break
So this week has been spring break. A chance to just relax before the last 8 weeks of school, yes it's coming to an end quickly. Monday Renae and I picked her brother Tim up from the airport, and then hung out with her parents for the evening and had coffee with ruth a little bit later that evening. Tuesday morning I got up and went in to Bethel to work on the new youth ministry room. I was going to hang a shelf but things weren't going quite right so after a few hours of frustration I went home and spent some time with Renae. Tuesday night Renae and I spent back at Bethel doing some work on the computer and helping Spencer work on his weddding invitations. Wednesday we ran errands and prepared for the Beach Blast that the youth group was having. Some plans changed we still had the activity but becuase it was so cold and windy we didn't stay the whole time. This morning I went back to Bethel and sucessfully finished hanging the shelf and set of speakers. This evening holds a quiet evening at home with my beautiful loving wife; I'm going to cook her dinner too. Tomorrow evening I have a youth leaders meeting, that i'm excited about. I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow morning, we'll see.
On a side note this is post number 100. My first post, published on March 7, 2007. With is exactly 770 days ago. That was slightly before I purchased the domain. I have averaged a post about every week. that's not to bad. I'll have to try a bit harder to fill you in on some more stuff, we'll see. Maybe I'll put some more recipes up... hmm....
Have a great day.

Good Morning
So this is my first blog post since I have turned 23. It's going ro be random since I have nothing specific to talk about. We on Januaray 1st, Spencer let me know that he had finanally recovered our honeymoon pictures from the corrrupted SD card which excited both Renae and I, and it's so nice to finally have them. School is going well, this week is spirit week at bethel and yesterday was crazy hair day, so I went to school with a mohawk. Today is red, white, and blue day. Bethel's Main Event is just around the corner on February 1st so that begs the question who do you think will win the Super Bowl.

Renae has her first volleyball game today, so after school gets out I'll be heading to the gym to watch her team play. Maybe I'll put some picture up tonight or tomorrow of spirit week. We'll see.

New Year and Everything That Comes With It
Happy New Year. Welcome to 2009. Last year is gone and there are only 365 days until 2010. I have never been one to make New Year's Resolutions, but have have decided to set some goals for my life that I would like to work on this year. But before I start this year I would like to look back over the past year and hit some highlights.
2008 started of a little tough, Spencer my best friend, headed off to marine corps boot camp two weeks into the year with the promise that he would still be able to be my best man at my wedding, that same week I had to have some major dental work done and Renae had her wallet and computer stolen from her while she was at work. Latter in February we had a scare, as Renae thought she might of had an infection in her feet, but fortunately it turned out to be nothing. In March my parents visited during spring break and we went to visit Disneyland. On April 30, 2008 I graduated from college. I began working at Bethel Baptist School soon after graduation and God quickly lead me to an apartment in Garden Grove about 5 miles from Bethel. On June 14, 2008, the love of my life became Mrs Renae Ashton. Oh, and Spencer was able to make it to the wedding, barely. I spent the summer working with the summer school program at Bethel and in September I began teaching 5th grade. Renae and I are doing very well having just celebrated our 6 month aniversary of our wedding, we definatly enjoy married life. For Thanksgiving we spent at Renae's parents and Christmas with mine. It was nice to have my whole family together for almost a week.
Well that was last year... So this year what will be different? What will be the same?
I have decided to set some goals some will be public, others private. I hope that this will help me keep focused on the important things so here is a list of my public goals:
- Grow in my relationship with God
- Grow in my relationship with Renae
- Read my Bible all the way through this year
- Become consistent at journaling
- See at least one unbeliever come to know Christ
- Loose 10-15 pounds
- Stop being a procrastinator
- Read at least 4 Miscellaneous books
- Visit 2 MLB stadiums that I have not been to yet.
- Watch the SF Giants win the World Series.
So I think that will be my list. So although I have never been one to make New Year's Resolutions it appears that I have just done so.
hold nthing back.
